    OK try this!
    I randomly selected a cat to check. Antique books & manuscripts :
    I choose the first listing I could find of the 1st ten UK sellers. (10 different sellers)
    Out of those sellers only 40% sold to the USA
    60% did not!

    Check out any cat you like and see what you find! At least I'm doing the research such as it is!

    Errr Why does it matter. All a buyer is interested in is whether the ONE item the are looking for is listed or not

    I used to be fascinated by the amount of views an item got, even although I knew the counters were 'wonky' to say the least... it took a couple of months but I got over that ...am now the same with total numbers - concentrating on my items more lol

    http://uk.ebid.net/buy/computing/int...ing-templates/ 427 listings
    http://us.ebid.net/buy/computing/int...ing-templates/ 428 listings

    So all bar one listing available in the US is available in the UK. The location of the sellers is a roughly equal split between the two if you look by "show country only".

    I'm not sure what this proves or why anybody cares, but it seems to be creating some heat so I thought I'd share it with you. Enjoy.

    And what's the P&P on transmitting a template across the ether?

    That example is useless IMO.

    That was exactly my point. You're basing your entire argument about numbers on "gee, things are heavy". You seem to be ignoring every pertinent post that counters that.

    Default If anyone is good at maths

    Can you try and work this out for me. The top number is the world wide listing numbers, followed by country listings, next set of numbers is the world wide live auction numbers minus the country listing numbers. The bottom is what's left.

    I can't work it out as it seems the ones that are red are short by those many, yet if I add them all up together the total comes to over 5million. So if anyone can work it out better then hopefully I'll understand it better myself.

    Weight and P&P is only part of the argument.

    Competing with a domestic market with run of the mill stuff is another (That's where International postage kills it).

    I just can't see that 80% of all listings in the UK are visible worldwide.

    I do accept however that 80% plus of sellers do list 'Some Items' worldwide.
